There is no way you can convince me that a federal contractor unlawfully accessing the tax filings of a sitting U.S. President does not immediately send flags throughout the IRS system.
The amount of pretending needed not to see the background of this story is off the charts.
JUSTICE – An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) consultant was charged today with disclosing tax return information without authorization.
According to court documents, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., while working at the IRS as a government contractor, stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official (Public Official A) and disclosed it to a news organization (News Organization 1). Littlejohn also stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals, and disclosed this tax return information to another news organization (News Organization 2).
Littlejohn is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. (read more)
An IRS consultant “contractor” had access to the wealthiest people’s tax returns including the President’s? Gee I wonder to which news outlets he sold that information. 5 years is all he got, If it were Trump, he would have had multiple indictments, one for each person’s tax return info. The same news outlets no doubt would claim he had 100 x 5 = 500 years in jail coming.
He’s not getting 5 years. He’ll get a slap on the wrist like all the other Leftists.
……and a book deal and CNN contributor.
Oh he will get five years reduced to good behavior.
His action WAS good behavior according to the left. They break the laws and then claim they are “breaking bread.”
It’s MSDNC’s turn to take another Lefty Criminal?
He will get to keep his pension too just like they all do.
The Lois Lerner punishment?
Do you think he will get a slap on the wrist on Judgement Day?
They are Nihilists, they don’t care. No morals, no ethics.
One by one pretensions of upholding the laws are uncovered by selfish ambition. Like the common Looters in stores people demonstrate their Nihilism.
I think the penalty is 5 years per count….so he could get LOTS of time….if he’s a republican.
“Littlejohn is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.”…..
Yes, you might think that each illegal disclosure might reasonably constitute a ‘count’, but the article says ‘one count’…. So it would seem that they grouped all the disclosures in a single count….
Isn’t that convenient? 🤷♂️
they , the prosecutors also winked at Littlejohn.
Who knows he is being given the Ray Epps white glove
treatment of a stern second wink.
Hunter paintings, shot through his nose, at the public,
are what counts for justice.
For now. Until trump’s righteous victory, we pray.
The Swamp’s favorite tactic, charge the minimum possible, plead it away to a misdemeanor, that way if some sensible prosecutor ever decides to try to hold them accountable in the future they can claim “double jeopardy.”
Double standards except for Democrats here are no standards juct cover ups and excuses or …. Seth Rich.
And this is a sad truth, he could have been a uni party republican
add this database to weaponized social media, banking, media and non profits and its a recipe to destroy honest entrepreneurs and domestic capitalists that would support any MAGA candidate and build a strong USA economy against the globalist oligarchs
Because the more than 2 million actual Federal civilian employees leave the Swamp so short-handed they have to hire un-vetted, unreliable “consultants” to do things like handle US Citizen tax returns, manage Top Secret intelligence information (Snowden,) etc.
And we are to report third party transactions on $600 dollars or more!
They adjusted it to $60 million if your name Biden .
Horrible people
I take solace in this: for God is not mocked for what a man soweth that shall he also repeath.
The democrats are doing all this because they aren’t afraid of losing the white house.
This kind of thing is not what secure regimes do
Sure it is.
No, it really isn’t. If the regime were secure in its power there would be no need to leak Trump’s tax returns (in addition to the mountain of other things they are doing or trying to do to him) because there is no way he would pose any threat to them
it would seem you have been reading Jay Valentine’s essays over at American Thinker and a few other sites, no ?
Twas sarcasm?
Plea deal and a slap on the wrist plus extension of contract at another agency.
See how it’s done?
Let’s see:
PDJT has
– had his tax records stolen and given to the press,
-all of his personal client-attorney privileges have been thrown out the window,
-upstart general usurped his authority as Commander in Chief by giving aid and comfort to a potential enemy (Milley, China),
-the entire industry of government changed their rules and regulations so mere clerks (Vindamen) to operatives in our highest clandestine -agencies can make up stories to demonize and eventually impeach (accuse) this man, twice,
-recently his entire life’s work has just been stolen by the word of one judge in New York without a trial,
(what have I missed, sure there’s tons more to list here)
and nowhere in the legal community, or the ACLU type organizations, journalist schools, (what have I missed, sure there’s tons more to list here) do anything but cheer, what actually is it do these people think they are cheering for?
The strength of this one man, President Donald J. Trump, is stunning, and so amazing, this ability to keep on going through all of this, where the founding ideals of our nation are thrown out the window to demonize him, strengthens me to stick with him in this fight to make our nation great again like nothing I could have ever imagined.
Never realized until the other day just how much I am looking forward to being a passenger on the retribution train.
There will be no retribution train until we regain power of our government. We must win. Not just PDJT as president. We need to tip the scales and be cleaning house NOW.
We need to be uncovering the fraud and abuse of our nation. Our nation has become a nation (in contrast to President Lincoln) — Of the Government, by the Government, and for the Government
Everyone needs to begin uncovering and shouting around them what has happened
^^^ Yes! 100% ^^^ We must do our part.
The way I see it is if they violate the Constitution to get Trump, they won’t be protected by that same Constitution. Mafia rules are upon us.
I agree with all you post————–wish I could articulate that well———
I hope that Trump uses the run-up to next year’s election to recite, non-stop, the unhinged behavior and litigation that he’s had to endure. Most people can’t keep up with all he has been through. I hope he recites fact-after-fact-after-fact. This shouldn’t happen to ANY American, and decent Dems should be speaking out against this stuff. That they don’t should seal their fate in the coming election cycles.
“IRS Contractor” More like an FBI or CIA contractor. What would be their motivation for charging him now? It’s not like the government is worried about their reputation anymore.
Probably because he leaked the information of one of their allies. He didn’t just leak Trump’s returns, he leaked the returns of some of the nation’s wealthiest individuals. No doubt at least one of these individuals has Biden or whoever in his back pocket and wasn’t happy about his dirty laundry being aired
Makes sense.
How about a curriculum vitae on this cockroach? From grade school on.
My guess is that they can control how he is punished (or isn’t punished) under a friendly regime.
He probably stole from Democrats. Must have taken taxes from somebody important, probably the Biden’s. Maybe Newsome.
They don’t arrest government people like Lois Lerner who target us.
I can’t wait for the civil suit. They just named the culprit.
What’s the game they knew day 1 who stole the information. Next they’ll find the Supreme Court leaker. Is this part of the pretend equal justice narrative campaign. Charge Biden, Epps, Menendez.
Nah. He took info on Democrats. They say “Trump” to make it look like they’re being even handed. He was only arrested because the REST of the tax info was Democrats.
Sure would be interesting to see a picture of him.
So far he’s invisible. He worked for an anonymous contractor, too. And got that kind of access with no prior history with the IRS. Just popped in 2018 to 2020. Hmmm. I see Della posted his mom’s (likely) employment. Sure was into DEI.
5 years MAX?
That’s akin to 20 lashes with a wet noodle, or something.
And he’ll never serve that.
So, I connected a few dots (name + age + DC address, relations, newspaper announcements, Tar Heel interview…), and if my research is correct, this Charles E. Littlejohn from DC is the son of H. Juanita “Nita” Beecher from her first marriage. Here’s her bio on the Fortney Scott law firm webpage: https://www.fortneyscott.com/h-juanita-beecher
If you know differently, please post a correction!
If correct, does this tell us anything about motivation?
Today: Did Gov. Brian Kemp, Gov. Gavin Newsom and Gov. Ron DeSantis promise to have a meaningless Presidential debate – If so, Why?
Maybe the War Room provided the answer. It seems Gov. Gavin Newsom is planning on giving Sen. Feinstein’s position to Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
So let’s take a quick look at Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Glenn Youngkin to Retire as Co-CEO after 25 years; Kewsong Lee Named Sole CEO of The Carlyle Group. This should mean that Gov. Glenn Youngkin is connected to the Carlyle Group, the CCP, David Rubenstein and Bush.

David Rubenstein, co-founder of Carlyle Group.
David Rubenstein is connected to the CCP.
Bush is connected to the Carlyle Group.
Interesting
Was this theft recent?
Did he steal all of Trump’s tax returns?
No it was in 2020, just before the election , part of the Democrats rigging election.
2 decades of Trump returns.
The New York Times was the receiver of stolen goods.
Four years the get this leaker?!? How long to get answers to: Who leaked thr SCOTUS Dobbs draft? Who brought cocaine to the White House?
Never & never.
You have to understand that anyone who hurts Trump is seen as a hero to the left and not a criminal regardless of the crime committed.
The Leaker and Hunter and Gold Bar Bob are sacrificial lambs (Hunter is yet to be seen). What took so long to find the leaker to be implicated, it didn’t.
A DOJ ruse under the guise of equal application of the (only if it’s in FJB’s best interest) law.
DOJ is trying to balance out Trump indictments so MSM can run with it.
5 years is not enough time. This guy should spend at least 20 years in prison with no chance of parole. This can happen to anyone. A message needs to be sent.
Must have believed he was doing Robin Hoods work everyone pretending to be something.
Break out the “Kevin Clinesmith” sentencing guidelines and clear the schedule of a judge with TDS. 12 months unsupervised probation and a cushy, well paying job at a Soros affiliated business for taking a misdemeanor for the Trump hating team.
Where is the pic? No where on internet?
does Littlejohnson turn out to be tranny?
Wouldn’t be shocked
Why is it they never post pictures of the accused?
After all, they are innocent until proven guilty.
Yeah, where is the mugshot?
“Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Deputy Inspector General for Investigations Trevor Nelson of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) made the announcement.
TIGTA is investigating the case.
Trial Attorneys Lauren Castaldi and Jonathan E. Jacobson of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section are prosecuting the case, with substantial assistance from Assistant U.S. Attorney Eleanor Hurney for the Northern District of West Virginia.
A criminal information is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.“
Who ARE these people, and who is the judge?
I thought about this years back with the exposure, by Snowden, of the feds collecting everything and anything communications/data wise (NSA, etc.). The temptation to even view it would be tremendous. Be frank; how many of you would be “curious” to look at info on anything or anybody that you wanted? So if you had a corrupt make up, the access to and use of this info would be worth more than almost anything you could imagine. Staggers the honest mind. This should, but it won’t, open a virtual pandoras’ box of outrage by the general public. It was once said of the American electorate, to paraphrase; “We rely on their stupidity to get things done” but apathy is the mother of stupidity and , unfortunately, it is pervasive throughout our society now.
What’s to prevent President Trump from filing a lawsuit with somewhat different claims tht IRS would not have included in their slap on the wrist suit? Sue him President Trump!!!!! There need to be bigger consequences. File in your FL district
Where’s the picture of the perp?
You are right Sundance–This is an absolute load of bull.
I worked in banking, accounts of certain individuals were flagged–anyone searching for them or accessing them produced an alert and heaven help you if you did not have a legitimate reason to axis it.
This was to discourage people from getting curious about their favorite celebrity, ex-spouse, etc. However, some VIPs are more important than others. Top government officials are their own category, so even searching Lexis/Nexis for Obama and the Secret Service would arrive to question the person, never mind trying to access his account info or KYC data.
Wonder why he didn’t steal Joe or Hunter Biden’s?
Remember when Hillary forgot she had thousands of ILLEGAL FBI records on American Citizens … in the Clinton’s White House ??
Since information regarding the specifics of DJT’s federal (and possible state) tax filings were obtained eventually illegally by the MSM and likewise the Democrats any information extracted from these documents used as related to the numerous phony indictments is not admissible as evidence.
Who does Littlejohn connect to in the political world? Party affiliation? DNC or Campaign affiliation? DoJ or FBI connections? Which Democrat law/accounting/intel shops did he work for? How about his wife/partner/relatives? Which Clinton operatives were behind it (this has Hildabeast written all over it).
The notion that the motive was selling the info is smoke and mirrors.
How about the entities that were knowingly receiving stolen goods?
That used to be a crime, no?
Well, I guess if you are a Democrat mouthpiece, part of the gang, that can be smoothed over. You’re just a good fellow.
Who paid him? Why are the names of the news organizations hidden?
Will the news organizations who accepted and published any of the information be charged also? I thought there were laws against the press publishing information obtained through criminal activity.
Why is he only being charged with one count?
Just more questions to reveal the two-tier corrupted justice system and the corrupted federal bureaucracy which farms out what we pay them for to the private sector.
This incident reveals something: The Deep State will likely prompt the DoJ to start bringing low-level charges against everyone that’s guilty of persecuting Trump, then give them sweetheart plea-deals to prevent Trump from pursuing justice against them (double-jeopardy).
Kinda how they tried to do with Hunter Biden.
